Sega Announces Dreamcast Collection For 360 And PC

It's like 9/9/99 all over again!

The rumored “Dreamcast Collection” that appeared on GameStop in late 2010 is a real thing, and it’s hitting next month, Feb. 22 for the Xbox 360 on a disc and the PC as a digital download. Sounds exciting, but you should probably go ahead and lower your expectations. It's cool, I'll wait.

OK, so this collection contains four visually enhanced DC games, all of which have already hit Xbox Live Arcade and PSN, or are slated to in the future. That’s right--Sega Bass Fishing, Sonic Adventure, Crazy Taxi, and Space Channel 5 Part 2 are all shipping in this collection, which I’d imagine is really targeted to the massive crowd of Xbox 360 owners who don’t bother with connecting their consoles to the Internet, and the PC people who can't get these titles easily the legit way.  
 


 
== TEASER ==Sega, unfortunately, isn’t talking price just yet (which is weird), but as Joystiq points out, the GameStop listing had it pegged for 30 bucks. We'll have to see. 
 
Here's what we found when we dug into a couple of these XBLA releases last year. (Skip to around the 15-minute mark in this here first one.)

Look on the bright side; if Sega ends up releasing Part 2 of the collection, it can't be much worse than this.

Sega bass fishing rocks. However, I still have the system and the 'rod' controller. Yeah.

MDK2, Jet Grind Radio, Seaman, ChuChu Rocket, Power Stone, Rez, Shenmu, Skies of Arcadia, Typing of the Dead, Sonic Adventure 2, Fatal Fury.... there's a good handful of games that would be suitable of a disk like this.
 
Sega is crazy as tits for avoiding all of these games.

Utterly pointless? Does that do the trick?

Pretty much a lackluster collection, I was hoping for Powerstone to be included in this but I guess I'll live without it.

Did Sega take a poll to find out what games everyone was either tired of or didn't like in the first place and then put the results into this collection. Wow, epic fail.

@nick_verissimo: Was the GC re-release no good?  I remember the DC version fondly but never had a chance to try the GC version...it would give me a good reason to wipe the dust off my Wii, though.

FUCK YOU SEGA. RELEASE THESE GAMES YOU DON'T OWN ALREADY. STEAL THEM FROM CAPCOM AND TREASURE AND RELEASE THEM.
 
I agree that this is a shit collection, but I don't see why everyone expects Sega to bring you Power Stone. Ask Capcom about that. 
 
I want a real Powerstone 3 with more stages and characters. It would blow Smash Brothers away if it had enough content.
